Cooperative threads always preempt preemptible threads. The total number of priorities is NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES + NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES + 1 The extra one is for the idle thread, which must run at the lowest priority, and be the only thread at that priority. config NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES int "Number of preemptible priorities" if MULTITHREADING default 0 if !MULTITHREADING default 15 range 0 128 help Number of preemptible priorities available in the system.

Runnable threads at these priorities will always be scheduled before threads at lower priorities, EVEN IF those threads are otherwise cooperative and/or have taken a scheduler lock. Making such a thread runnable in any way thus has the effect of "interrupting" the current task and running the meta-irq thread synchronously, like an exception or system call. The intent is to use these priorities to implement "interrupt bottom half" or "tasklet" behavior, allowing driver subsystems to return from interrupt context but be guaranteed that user code will not be executed (on the current CPU) until the remaining work is finished. As this breaks the "promise" of non-preemptibility granted by the current API for cooperative threads, this tool probably shouldn't be used from application code. config SCHED_DEADLINE bool "Earliest-deadline-first scheduling" help This enables a simple "earliest deadline first" scheduling mode where threads can set "deadline" deltas measured in k_cycle_get_32() units. Priority decisions within (!!) a single priority will choose the next expiring deadline and not simply the least recently added thread. config SCHED_CPU_MASK bool "CPU mask affinity/pinning API" depends on SCHED_DUMB help When true, the application will have access to the k_thread_cpu_mask_*() APIs which control per-CPU affinity masks in SMP mode, allowing applications to pin threads to specific CPUs or disallow threads from running on given CPUs. Note that as currently implemented, this involves an inherent O(N) scaling in the number of idle-but-runnable threads, and thus works only with the DUMB scheduler (as SCALABLE and MULTIQ would see no benefit). Note that this setting does not technically depend on SMP and is implemented without it for testing purposes, but for obvious reasons makes sense as an application API only where there is more than one CPU. With one CPU, it's just a higher overhead version of k_thread_start/stop(). config SCHED_CPU_MASK_PIN_ONLY bool "CPU mask variant with single-CPU pinning only" depends on SMP && SCHED_CPU_MASK help When true, enables a variant of SCHED_CPU_MASK where only one CPU may be specified for every thread. Effectively, all threads have a single "assigned" CPU and they will never be scheduled symmetrically. In general this is not helpful, but some applications have a carefully designed threading architecture and want to make their own decisions about how to assign work to CPUs. In that circumstance, some moderate optimizations can be made (e.g. having a separate run queue per CPU, keeping the list length shorter). When selected, the CPU mask becomes an immutable thread attribute. It can only be modified before a thread is started. Most applications don't want this. config MAIN_STACK_SIZE int "Size of stack for initialization and main thread" default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV default 512 if ZTEST && !(RISCV || X86 || ARM || ARC || NIOS2) default 1024 help When the initialization is complete, the thread executing it then executes the main() routine, so as to reuse the stack used by the initialization, which would be wasted RAM otherwise.

Choose this on systems with constrained code size that will never see more than a small number (3, maybe) of runnable threads in the queue at any given time. On most platforms (that are not otherwise using the red/black tree) this results in a savings of ~2k of code size. config SCHED_SCALABLE bool "Red/black tree ready queue" help When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented as a red/black tree. This has rather slower constant-time insertion and removal overhead, and on most platforms (that are not otherwise using the rbtree somewhere) requires an extra ~2kb of code. But the resulting behavior will scale cleanly and quickly into the many thousands of threads. Use this on platforms where you may have many threads (very roughly: more than 20 or so) marked as runnable at a given time. Most applications don't want this. config SCHED_MULTIQ bool "Traditional multi-queue ready queue" depends on !SCHED_DEADLINE help When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented as the classic/textbook array of lists, one per priority. This corresponds to the scheduler algorithm used in Zephyr versions prior to 1.12. It incurs only a tiny code size overhead vs. the "dumb" scheduler and runs in O(1) time in almost all circumstances with very low constant factor. But it requires a fairly large RAM budget to store those list heads, and the limited features make it incompatible with features like deadline scheduling that need to sort threads more finely, and SMP affinity which need to traverse the list of threads. Typical applications with small numbers of runnable threads probably want the DUMB scheduler. endchoice # SCHED_ALGORITHM choice WAITQ_ALGORITHM prompt "Wait queue priority algorithm" default WAITQ_DUMB help The wait_q abstraction used in IPC primitives to pend threads for later wakeup shares the same backend data structure choices as the scheduler, and can use the same options. config WAITQ_SCALABLE bool "Use scalable wait_q implementation" help When selected, the wait_q will be implemented with a balanced tree. Choose this if you expect to have many threads waiting on individual primitives. There is a ~2kb code size increase over WAITQ_DUMB (which may be shared with SCHED_SCALABLE) if the rbtree is not used elsewhere in the application, and pend/unpend operations on "small" queues will be somewhat slower (though this is not generally a performance path). config WAITQ_DUMB bool "Simple linked-list wait_q" help When selected, the wait_q will be implemented with a doubly-linked list. Choose this if you expect to have only a few threads blocked on any single IPC primitive. endchoice # WAITQ_ALGORITHM menu "Misc Kernel related options" config LIBC_ERRNO bool help Use external libc errno, not the internal one. This eliminates any locally allocated errno storage and usage. config ERRNO bool "Errno support" default y help Enable per-thread errno in the kernel.

This applies to the stack areas for threads, as well as to the interrupt stack. config SKIP_BSS_CLEAR bool help This option disables software .bss section zeroing during Zephyr initialization. Such boot-time optimization could be used for platforms where .bss section is zeroed-out externally. Please pay attention that when this option is enabled the responsibility for .bss zeroing in all possible scenarios (mind e.g. SW reset) is delegated to the external SW or HW. config BOOT_BANNER bool "Boot banner" default y select PRINTK select EARLY_CONSOLE help This option outputs a banner to the console device during boot up. config BOOT_BANNER_STRING string "Boot banner string" depends on BOOT_BANNER default "Booting Zephyr OS build" help Use this option to set the boot banner. config BOOT_DELAY int "Boot delay in milliseconds" depends on MULTITHREADING default 0 help This option delays bootup for the specified amount of milliseconds. This is used to allow serial ports to get ready before starting to print information on them during boot, as some systems might boot to fast for a receiving endpoint to detect the new USB serial bus, enumerate it and get ready to receive before it actually gets data. A similar effect can be achieved by waiting for DCD on the serial port--however, not all serial ports have DCD. config BOOT_CLEAR_SCREEN bool "Clear screen" help Use this option to clear the screen before printing anything else.

This means that any work handler, once started, won't be preempted by any other thread until finished. config SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_NO_YIELD bool "Select whether system work queue yields" help By default, the system work queue yields between each work item, to prevent other threads from being starved. Selecting this removes this yield, which may be useful if the work queue thread is cooperative and a sequence of work items is expected to complete without yielding. endmenu menu "Barrier Operations" config BARRIER_OPERATIONS_BUILTIN bool help Use the compiler builtin functions for barrier operations. This is the preferred method. However, support for all arches in GCC is incomplete. config BARRIER_OPERATIONS_ARCH bool help Use when there isn't support for compiler built-ins, but you have written optimized assembly code under arch/ which implements these. endmenu menu "Atomic Operations" config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_BUILTIN bool help Use the compiler builtin functions for atomic operations. This is the preferred method. However, support for all arches in GCC is incomplete. config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_ARCH bool help Use when there isn't support for compiler built-ins, but you have written optimized assembly code under arch/ which implements these. config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_C bool help Use atomic operations routines that are implemented entirely in C by locking interrupts. Selected by architectures which either do not have support for atomic operations in their instruction set, or haven't been implemented yet during bring-up, and also the compiler does not have support for the atomic __sync_* builtins. endmenu menu "Timer API Options" config TIMESLICING bool "Thread time slicing" default y depends on SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS && (NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES != 0) help This option enables time slicing between preemptible threads of equal priority. config TIMESLICE_SIZE int "Time slice size (in ms)" default 0 range 0 2147483647 depends on TIMESLICING help This option specifies the maximum amount of time a thread can execute before other threads of equal priority are given an opportunity to run. A time slice size of zero means "no limit" (i.e. an infinitely large time slice). config TIMESLICE_PRIORITY int "Time slicing thread priority ceiling" default 0 range 0 NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES depends on TIMESLICING help This option specifies the thread priority level at which time slicing takes effect; threads having a higher priority than this ceiling are not subject to time slicing. config TIMESLICE_PER_THREAD bool "Support per-thread timeslice values" depends on TIMESLICING help When set, this enables an API for setting timeslice values on a per-thread basis, with an application callback invoked when a thread reaches the end of its timeslice. endmenu menu "Other Kernel Object Options" config POLL bool "Async I/O Framework" help Asynchronous notification framework. Enable the k_poll() and k_poll_signal_raise() APIs. The former can wait on multiple events concurrently, which can be either directly triggered or triggered by the availability of some kernel objects (semaphores and FIFOs). config MEM_SLAB_TRACE_MAX_UTILIZATION bool "Getting maximum slab utilization" help This adds variable to the k_mem_slab structure to hold maximum utilization of the slab. config NUM_MBOX_ASYNC_MSGS int "Maximum number of in-flight asynchronous mailbox messages" default 10 help This option specifies the total number of asynchronous mailbox messages that can exist simultaneously, across all mailboxes in the system. Setting this option to 0 disables support for asynchronous mailbox messages. config EVENTS bool "Event objects" help This option enables event objects. Threads may wait on event objects for specific events, but both threads and ISRs may deliver events to event objects. Note that setting this option slightly increases the size of the thread structure. config PIPES bool "Pipe objects" help This option enables kernel pipes. A pipe is a kernel object that allows a thread to send a byte stream to another thread. Pipes can be used to synchronously transfer chunks of data in whole or in part. Note that setting this option slightly increases the size of the thread structure. config KERNEL_MEM_POOL bool "Use Kernel Memory Pool" default y help Enable the use of kernel memory pool. Say y if unsure. if KERNEL_MEM_POOL config HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE int "Heap memory pool size (in bytes)" default 0 help This option specifies the size of the heap memory pool used when dynamically allocating memory using k_malloc(). The maximum size of the memory pool is only limited to available memory. If subsystems specify HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_* options, these will be added together and the sum will be compared to the HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE value. If the sum is greater than the HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE option (even if this has the default 0 value), then the actual heap size will be rounded up to the sum of the individual requirements (unless the HEAP_MEM_POOL_IGNORE_MIN option is enabled). If the final value, after considering both this option as well as sum of the custom requirements, ends up being zero, then no system heap will be available. config HEAP_MEM_POOL_IGNORE_MIN bool "Ignore the minimum heap memory pool requirement" help This option can be set to force setting a smaller heap memory pool size than what's specified by enabled subsystems. This can be useful when optimizing memory usage and a more precise minimum heap size is known for a given application. endif # KERNEL_MEM_POOL endmenu config ARCH_HAS_CUSTOM_SWAP_TO_MAIN bool help It's possible that an architecture port cannot use _Swap() to swap to the _main() thread, but instead must do something custom. It must enable this option in that case. config SWAP_NONATOMIC bool help On some architectures, the _Swap() primitive cannot be made atomic with respect to the irq_lock being released. That is, interrupts may be received between the entry to _Swap and the completion of the context switch. There are a handful of workaround cases in the kernel that need to be enabled when this is true. Currently, this only happens on ARM when the PendSV exception priority sits below that of Zephyr-handled interrupts. config ARCH_HAS_CUSTOM_BUSY_WAIT bool help It's possible that an architecture port cannot or does not want to use the provided k_busy_wait(), but instead must do something custom. It must enable this option in that case. config SYS_CLOCK_TICKS_PER_SEC int "System tick frequency (in ticks/second)" default 100 if QEMU_TARGET || SOC_POSIX default 10000 if TICKLESS_KERNEL default 100 help This option specifies the nominal frequency of the system clock in Hz. For asynchronous timekeeping, the kernel defines a "ticks" concept. A "tick" is the internal count in which the kernel does all its internal uptime and timeout bookkeeping. Interrupts are expected to be delivered on tick boundaries to the extent practical, and no fractional ticks are tracked. The choice of tick rate is configurable by this option. Also the number of cycles per tick should be chosen so that 1 millisecond is exactly represented by an integral number of ticks. Defaults on most hardware platforms (ones that support setting arbitrary interrupt timeouts) are expected to be in the range of 10 kHz, with software emulation platforms and legacy drivers using a more traditional 100 Hz value. Note that when available and enabled, in "tickless" mode this config variable specifies the minimum available timing granularity, not necessarily the number or frequency of interrupts delivered to the kernel. A value of 0 completely disables timer support in the kernel. config SYS_CLOCK_HW_CYCLES_PER_SEC int "System clock's h/w timer frequency" help This option specifies the frequency of the hardware timer used for the system clock (in Hz). This option is set by the SOC's or board's Kconfig file and the user should generally avoid modifying it via the menu configuration. config SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS bool "System clock exists and is enabled" default y help This option specifies that the kernel has timer support. Some device configurations can eliminate significant code if this is disabled. Obviously timeout-related APIs will not work when disabled. config TIMEOUT_64BIT bool "Store kernel timeouts in 64 bit precision" default y help When this option is true, the k_ticks_t values passed to kernel APIs will be a 64 bit quantity, allowing the use of larger values (and higher precision tick rates) without fear of overflowing the 32 bit word. This feature also gates the availability of absolute timeout values (which require the extra precision). config SYS_CLOCK_MAX_TIMEOUT_DAYS int "Max timeout (in days) used in conversions" default 365 help Value is used in the time conversion static inline function to determine at compile time which algorithm to use. One algorithm is faster, takes less code but may overflow if multiplication of source and target frequency exceeds 64 bits. Second algorithm prevents that. Faster algorithm is selected for conversion if maximum timeout represented in source frequency domain multiplied by target frequency fits in 64 bits. config BUSYWAIT_CPU_LOOPS_PER_USEC int "Number of CPU loops per microsecond for crude busy looping" depends on !SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS && !ARCH_HAS_CUSTOM_BUSY_WAIT default 500 help Calibration for crude CPU based busy loop duration. The default is assuming 1 GHz CPU and 2 cycles per loop. Reality is certainly much worse but all we want here is a ball-park figure that ought to be good enough for the purpose of being able to configure out system timer support. If accuracy is very important then implementing arch_busy_wait() should be considered. config XIP bool "Execute in place" help This option allows the kernel to operate with its text and read-only sections residing in ROM (or similar read-only memory). Not all boards support this option so it must be used with care; you must also supply a linker command file when building your image. Enabling this option increases both the code and data footprint of the image. menu "Security Options" config STACK_CANARIES bool "Compiler stack canaries" depends on ENTROPY_GENERATOR || TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR select NEED_LIBC_MEM_PARTITION if !STACK_CANARIES_TLS help This option enables compiler stack canaries. If stack canaries are supported by the compiler, it will emit extra code that inserts a canary value into the stack frame when a function is entered and validates this value upon exit. Stack corruption (such as that caused by buffer overflow) results in a fatal error condition for the running entity. Enabling this option can result in a significant increase in footprint and an associated decrease in performance. If stack canaries are not supported by the compiler an error will occur at build time. if STACK_CANARIES config STACK_CANARIES_TLS bool "Stack canaries using thread local storage" depends on THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE depends on ARCH_HAS_STACK_CANARIES_TLS help This option enables compiler stack canaries on TLS. Stack canaries will leave in the thread local storage and each thread will have its own canary. This makes harder to predict the canary location and value. When enabled this causes an additional performance penalty during thread creations because it needs a new random value per thread. endif config EXECUTE_XOR_WRITE bool "W^X for memory partitions" depends on USERSPACE depends on ARCH_HAS_EXECUTABLE_PAGE_BIT default y help When enabled, will enforce that a writable page isn't executable and vice versa. This might not be acceptable in all scenarios, so this option is given for those unafraid of shooting themselves in the foot. If unsure, say Y. config STACK_POINTER_RANDOM int "Initial stack pointer randomization bounds" depends on !STACK_GROWS_UP depends on MULTITHREADING depends on TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR || ENTROPY_HAS_DRIVER default 0 help This option performs a limited form of Address Space Layout Randomization by offsetting some random value to a thread's initial stack pointer upon creation. This hinders some types of security attacks by making the location of any given stack frame non-deterministic. This feature can waste up to the specified size in bytes the stack region, which is carved out of the total size of the stack region. A reasonable minimum value would be around 100 bytes if this can be spared. This is currently only implemented for systems whose stack pointers grow towards lower memory addresses. config BOUNDS_CHECK_BYPASS_MITIGATION bool "Bounds check bypass mitigations for speculative execution" depends on USERSPACE help Untrusted parameters from user mode may be used in system calls to index arrays during speculative execution, also known as the Spectre V1 vulnerability. When enabled, various macros defined in misc/speculation.h will insert fence instructions or other appropriate mitigations after bounds checking any array index parameters passed in from untrusted sources (user mode threads). When disabled, these macros do nothing. endmenu rsource "Kconfig.mem_domain" rsource "Kconfig.smp" config TICKLESS_KERNEL bool "Tickless kernel" default y if TICKLESS_CAPABLE depends on TICKLESS_CAPABLE help This option enables a fully event driven kernel.

This is required for C++ constructor support as well as for initializer functions as defined by GNU-compatible toolchains. This increases the size of Zephyr binaries by around 100 bytes. If you know your application doesn't need any initializers, you can disable this option. The ARC MWDT toolchain, does not support or use this setting, and has instead separate C++ constructor initialization code. Note the option CMAKE_LINKER_GENERATOR does not yet support this feature or CPP. endmenu rsource "Kconfig.device" rsource "Kconfig.vm" |
